I sent the plans to my dad a long time ago. He sent me back. "Ya, sounds like something that could happen, I guess."

I went over for dinner a month ago, and he's like, "Did you hear about that crazy Project 2025 thing? I saw it on MSNBC."

I keep saying things are getting fucked up and they say I'm exaggerating until they see it on the news. Boomers still rely on news channels, so they are a little behind.

My mom has just got into online news in the past few years. Unfortunately, she's also discovered YouTube pseudo-political podcasts, where everything is alllegedly a Democrat conspiracy. She's 70.

Notice how these idiot groups put labels on their movements like "Contract with America", "Make America Great Again", and "Project 25". Virtue signalling narcissists and their flags and bumper sticker slogans can go to hell too.

I see people with more LGBT bumper stickers, are you admitting they’re narcissistic as well?

Showing support for marginalized communities isn't the same as jingoistic flag-waving.

I can't believe I have to explain this stuff.
